Anything You Can DO They Can Do, Too

While you flex

your muscles

in front of your

morning mirror

and congratulate

yourself on your

nimble brain,

consider this:

The light over your

mirror was perfected

by a deaf man.

While your morning

radio plays, remember

the hunchback who

helped invent it.

If you listen to

contemporary music,

you may hear

an artist who is

blind.

If you prefer

classical, you may

enjoy a symphony

written by a composer

who couldn't hear.

The President who set

an unbeatable American

political record

could hardly walk.

A woman born

unable to

see, speak or hear

stands as a great

achiever in

American history .

The handicapped can

enrich our lives.

Let's enrich

theirs.
